Farmhouse King Size Bed

Finally replaced our old queen size bed frame. It took me 2 weekends to finish the project. We bought a Nova Comfort memory foam.

Finally replaced our old queen size bed frame. It took me 2 weekends to finish the project. We bought a Nova Comfort memory foam.
I actually used a partial plan from a previous Ana-white photo and plan. I used some nautical hooks to finish it off.
We added a 2x6 to the top and made the table 5.5 " longer and wider. We had to adjust all of our cuts. Read your instructions on the can of stain because on Shanty2Chic's site they mentioned leaving the stain on for 5 minutes and then wiping. However in doing so, you will end up with a very dark finish.
So this project took quite a while for me to finish, but I didn't cut any corners and expanded a bit on the basic plans that were offered. Some notes on changes to the project:
Anyway, enjoy!

What is the yellow tool you have the tabletop clamped to?

I built this for a dear friend’s wedding. The showed me a picture of what they wanted and I modified your plans to make it look the way they wanted. I used treated lumber so it would last on their deck. Finished with Cabot solid oil-based stain. I’m not a fan of solid stain as it was very humid and it took sooo long to dry. Also I love see the wood grain.
How cute is this new patio sofa I made out of 2x4s??? I used Ana White's plans and tweaked it just a little. I could not be happier with how it turned out and proud that I did it myself.
This is the first sink that I made, for one of my nieces of course, and when the other niece saw it, she started campaigning for one of her own. They are extemely easy to build, used my trusty Kreg jig, and on the back, hinged, is a painted, plain top, so when they're tired of using the sink, the top can come off, and instant nightstand! I used the home depot brand sink fixture, 10.00, and a dog dish for the sink. I added a "granite" top, and since this pic, I've sewn the 3 tier curtains. There are 2 different sinks in the below pics.
I enjoyed making these projects for my 6 year old for Christmas. Warning: make cuts as you build. Even though I bought standard board sizes, my finished measurements did not all match cut list. Just keep measuring as you assemble and make cuts and small changes as needed. A 1x3 can be anywhere from 2 1/2 to 2 3/4 wide for example. I finished with primer and two coats of Benjamin Moore Advance semigloss Cloud White on both projects. I used 2 inch high density foam for the mattress. The quilt is pieced from 2 1/2 inch squares. The small pillows are 3 inch square finished. The large pillows are 4x7 approximately. The cake stand is cute enough for a child's play room but also large enough to be borrowed for an adult's dessert table.
I had a great time with my first project being this vegetable bin. I did have to have some help with the actual construction and I know it's not perfect. It's uneven and has flaws, but I think it gives it a little character.
Desk from Mango wood and the top is acacia

Colin needed a bed for his room to upgrade from his toddler bed. I new immediately I was going to use plans from Anna's site! Building the bed was extremely easy with the new tools that I received for my birthday. This was my first time staining anything so that took the longest time for this project. It is my second thing that I have built from Anna's awesome website!

Thank you! I'm getting ready to post my second project now! I love her site!

Did you use a kreg jig and attach 4x4 legs via pocket holes? I don't see any screws... trying to decide how to best attach everything before taking on this project. Thanks!!

Yes. I used the kreg jig and created pocket holes that screwed into the 4x4. I used the correct size when drilling the holes but I may have used the next size up in the screw length for extra support. The bed gets plenty of use between my 7 and 5 year old and is one solid piece of furniture.
I found these amazing plans from Ana's website here. Couldn't be easier! I modified mine a bit to fit the space and used recycled pine wood for my project! The Scroll legs I used my jig saw to cut them out with the great stencil provided in these plans. I was really happy with the result, as I only had minor sanding to do to make them match up when I glued them together. Since I was painting this piece I used dry wall mud over the seams on the legs to hide the joints (a lot less expensive than wood filler). Since it was all recycled wood I had to do a lot of sanding but it saved me a lot of money! So very happy with this project! Thanks for again for the amazing plans!!!

this looks really beautiful! I love the distressed look!
Built for my youngest sister in law.
I loved the Balin Console Table plan, so my husband and myself decided to try it as our first project. We adjusted the height to 42" and we added a bottom shelf. I am so happy with the way it turned out. I have received many complements.
The mirrors were made by my father, I have to brag on him since he did such an amazing job! I show him Viva Terra's porthole mirrors collection and he re-created them with Teak wood.

This table is on my to-do list also. You did a fantastic job on it. I can only hope mine will turn out that nice.

Thanks for the idea. I added a couple extras and figured I'd post them in case it helped anyone. Fun project!

This is soooo cool! The details and additions are fab!
Merry Christmas!
Thank you so much Ana for providing such good plans! I use your Mom's Fancy Farmhouse Bed plans and added drawers underneath (a girl can never have too much storage!) using your Under Bench Trundle Drawers plans. I made it look a bit different than yours so it fits with the desk I already have in my room and used Mortise Bedlocks to assemble it, so it will be easier to take it apart when I move next time. This was my first project using your plans and my Kreg Jig and I'm hooked!
This was a great build and easy to do.
I have built several of these Jelly Cupboards since the plans came out. Everyone really likes them, and they are super fast and easy to build. The last one had glass doors that turned out pretty well. I like to use plywood beadboard on the back to give it a little more character. I also like to use 'hardware cloth' for the mesh type doors (found at farm stores). It usually has openings about 1/8" or less but not as tight as screen, which looks perfect.

Really lovely work! I scoured a couple of those pretty butterfly hinges by pure luck a while back, and I know where to find more...but those strap hinges! Where did you get them? I can't seem to find them for a decent price (Ohio).
Tue, 12/31/2013 - 07:15
The strap hinges are from Acorn Manufacturing. I had to order them because I could not find anything like them locally. For some reason I can not post links in the comments, but the sources are linked on my blog, grvland dot com (no spaces and a . obviously). Just search there for Jelly Cupboard and you will find the source links in the earlier of the two posts. I will also see if I can add a direct link above.
Hi Ana,
I liked your design, but I've made a few changes to it for my bench:
-The dimensions
-The type of wood used
-All the joinery (Only screws are in the hinges)
-The inlays and a few other aesthetic features.
Thank you!

I built just the bottom portion and chose to omit the molding. I lined the inside with contact paper so that items stored inside don't snag on the rough plywood on the other side of bead-board.
Initially I was simply going to replace the old medicine cabinet with a mirror but my husband insisted that he needed a medicine cabinet. So I built the cabinet. Then I built the mirror. I wanted the mirror to stand upright but the width of the hole left behind by the old cabinet was too wide. I then tried to have the right side of the cabinet remain open but then realized that the door would not open because of the height of the faucet. In the end I had no choice but to make the door horizontal.
Though it's not what I wanted and it is not centered like I would I liked it to be I think it still turned out fine. And the mirror looks fantastic! Better than the pics show.
Most of the wood used were scraps from other projects. Including the trim. The one thing I bought for the project was a mirror that turned out to be the wrong size. It was too large and I did not want to cut it so I used the mirror from the old medicine cabinet. It did have hole where the door handle was which I tried to fill. Now I just try not to look at it. lol
